Weekly Cork Gig Guide: 9th-15th June 2015

This week in Cork: Shookrah, SOAK, the opening weekend of Cork Midsummer Festival and more.
Soul soldiers Shookrah funk up Cyprus Avenue on Friday evening on a bill that also welcomes Wicklow's Zaska, complete with his own 8-piece army, to Cork. A combination compiled completely for a perfect evening of sunny summery fun.

Friday sees the official launch of the 2015 edition of Cork Midsummer, a festival that thrives on creating magic and joy within odd and previously overlooked sites and venues. See the full programme over at www.corkmidsummer.com.

Elsewhere, Saturday sees the launch of a new series of nights under the title The Good Foot which will see a new hip-hop/soul/reggaenight unleash itself on The Poor Relation with discs being spun by Southern Hospitality Board crew members from 8pm. That same evening welcomes teenage folk prodigy SOAK to Triskel Christchurch.
